    Chapter 888 The Infamous Criminal


    Many people were surprised because Brendan had not been invited to the banquet!


    Striding over, Desmond asked, “Brendan B right hall! Don’t you care about a woman, even if it means


    sacrificing thepany’s future? Why are you here today?”


    After Brendan took the champagne from the waiter, he replied, “I just heard that thepany is holding


    an internal banquet, yet I was not informed. I thought you were too happy that you forgot to invite me.


    So, I’m here just to congratte you.”


    “Congratte?” Desmond’s shrewd eyes were full of distrust. “Given your reputation in public, not


    shaming thepany is already the biggest congrattion you can offer. You are not wee at this


    banquet! We gave you a chance, but you didn’t know when to back off!” “Shaming?” Smiling, Brendan


    raised his ss. “Speaking of shaming, it seems that your acts were no better than mine in the past.”


    “Bren, I heard five years ago about a man named Desmond Griffin, who called two women into his


    room, and his wife caught him in the act. Is he the same person?” asked Deirdre with hesitation.


    Brendan took Deirdre in his arms. “You have a good memory indeed. I didn’t expect you to remember


    something from five years ago. You’re right. At that time, Desmond was still very perky, but it’s a pity…”


    The crowd sighed at what Brendan had stated. The infidelity scandal had be so severe that


    Desmond had had to leave the Brighthall Group immediately and return only after the effects of the


    case had subsided. But he also acted very low-profile as a result.


    If not for many board members supporting Desmond’s rise, many employees in thepany probably


    wouldn’t have much impression of him.


    Desmond looked ugly. A board member paced toward Brendan and said,” Brendan, don’t twist the


    facts. How can youpare Griffin’s affair with what you did? Don’t forget that protecting a suspect is


    equivalent to youmitting a crime!” “Yes!” others echoed. ‘The mistake Mr. Griffin made didn’t put


    thepany in jeopardy. Whoever cares only about women is not qualified to lead the Brighthall


    Group!”


    Desmond’s face gradually turned normal. Following that, he took another nce at


    Deirdre, frowned abruptly, and reprimanded coldly, “Brendan Brighthall! What’s your intention in


    bringing a criminal to thepany’s banquet?” “What? A criminal?” “Is that woman a criminal?”


    The reprimand led to amotion, and those people finally looked at Deirdre’s face, which was so


    beautiful that it was difficult for them to associate her with the one who pushed someone down the


    balcony.


    They began discussing among themselves. “What does Mr. Brighthall want to do by bringing a criminal


    here with him? If the police were to find out, would thepany be affected?” ‘What an immature man


    to treat thepany as a toy just for the sake of a woman…”


    Desmond sneered. “Brendan, I don’t know your intention in bringing this woman. I don’t mind you


    joining in as a shareholder, but this criminal must leave!”

    Even though Brendan’s eyes were icy cold, he kept smiling. “I think you should be more careful with


    your words. Who is the criminal?” “Do you mean you refuse to admit it?” said Desmond furiously.


    ‘Why should I admit that when it is not the fact? You said Deirdre is a criminal, but why can she be here


    and not in prison? What do you think of the police?”


    Desmond snorted. “Don’t apply your tricks on me. Everyone knows that she is a criminal. You just


    resorted to tricks to bring her out.”
